Book Description
Written within a cloistered environment to protect sources that have yet to be identified, TOO LATE TO SAY GOODBYE is a chilling portrait of two beautiful, successful women whose murders were made to look like suicides. Jenn Corbin appeared to have it all: two little boys, a posh home in the suburbs of Atlanta, and a husband - Dr Bart Corbin, a successful dentist - who was handsome and brilliant. Then, in December 2004, Jenn was found dead with a bullet in her head, apparently by suicide. Only later would detectives learn that another woman in Dr Corbin's past had been found years earlier with nearly the exact same wound to the head, also ruled a suicide. In TOO LATE TO SAY GOODBYE, Ann Rule - working in cooperation with victims' families, police investigators, and sources from Georgia to Australia - unravels the now-sensational deaths. What emerges is an incredible tale of jealous rage; of stunning evidence that runs from the steamy to the macabre; and of a fateful, mind-boggling coincidence that appears to have motivated the killings. The definitive unravelling of one of the strangest murder investigations of our time, this is the greatest achievement of a truly great writing career.

Book Description
"Life has a purpose and our hearts can lead the way - if we let them." Cory McGuire. This novel is about finding your purpose and motivation by embracing what has always been hiding right in front of you unrealized. Discovered, it can be a call to your own courage that will be used for all the right reasons. In this story a young man leaves his home and joins the US Army in search of himself, his place, and his peace. As war, loss, and healing assail him, he discovers who he is and where his heart truly lies. We truly are all on that journey to some extent - or have been. It's a story about heroes and the sacrificial love it takes to be one - on a military mission or in our homes. Looking for all the security, order and structure of the organization that his father spoke of so often with pride, an angry and confused young man, discovers that no man is an island if he wants to survive and thrive in the world of war and extreme conditions. Driven to be the best, he decides to pursue a position in the elite US Army Special Forces as a Green Beret, but nothing can prepare him for the grueling super-human tests and training he'll have to endure. Like steel that is made stronger in a fire, Cory learns about friendship, sharing the load, and learning to rely on others, all things he's never experienced before - things he considered weaknesses. His experiences highlight not only what these servicemen and women endure to serve this country at the highest and most dangerous level, but they showcase lessons we must all learn, whether we are warriors or regular people. An emotionally charged and daring novel, Where the Heart Lies is a must-read for military and inspirational readers alike.

It is an official publication for Babes of the Abyss, but is recommended even to beginners as highly suggestive." The book consists of 91 chapters, each of which consists of one page of text. The chapters include a question mark, poems, rituals, instructions, and obscure allusions and cryptograms. The subject of each chapter is generally determined by its number and its corresponding Qabalistic meaning.

She was professionally unsuccessful but is known for her many lesbian affairs with famous Broadway and Hollywood personalities and numerous friendships with prominent artists of the period. De Acosta was involved in numerous lesbian relationships with Broadway's and Hollywood's elite and she did not attempt to hide her sexuality; her uncloseted existence was very rare and daring in her generation.

Shortly after marrying Abram Poole in 1920, de Acosta became involved in a five-year relationship with actress Eva Le Gallienne. Over the next decade she was involved with several famous actresses and dancers including Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Ona Munson, and Russian ballerina Tamara Platonovna Karsavina. Additional unsubstantiated rumors include affairs with Pola Negri, Eleonora Duse, Katherine Cornell, and Alice B. Toklas. In 1960, when de Acosta was seriously ill with a brain tumor and in need of money, she published her memoir, "Here Lies the Heart." In it are recounted the off stage life and lifestyles of many of the iconic figures of Hollywood in from the 1920's to 1940's.
